Please send any information you may have about the Walvoord Family. I would love for you to write a biography of your Walvoord ancestor or even of yourself! Send it to me! If you read something on this site about your branch of the Walvoord Family or of your ancestor in particular that needs correction or you have more to add, please let me know! I would love to add your input!
I would really love some more old Walvoord Photos (pre-1950 would be great!) for this web-site especially portrait style photos for the biography section. If possible, identify the names of people and places. If you have a photo that is better than the one I have used on this site please send it to me. Photos mailed to me will be handled with utmost care and will be returned to you if requested. Many of the photos on this site were contributed by visitors just like you.
Thanks for sharing!
Scott Walvoord,
Hi Cindy!
Great to hear from you. I am a little sparse in my Nebraska Walvoord branch information. I would definitely love your help. Who do you descend from?
Scott
Hi Scott,
This is Cindy Lett from the Nebraska line of Walvoords. I have been following your website for several years and love it! The picture of Gerrit Jan & Berendina is fantastic! I may be able to help with researching this line.
Hi Scott, .. I have lost your phone # and made arrangements so I could spend tomorrow afternoon at your place. I hope you get this before then. I’m frantic here! .. Sandi 828-243-3503
was looking at your picture show and that picture of Anna Margretta looks just like my mom…and the one of william walvoord looks just like my cousin and uncle…I can belive how much walvoord blood we have in us when I look at those old pictures and then ones of us and my nieces children lot of walvoord blood….
Hi Laura,
Ann Walvoord Graff contacted me about your post. She may have some connections for you and I have forwarded her your email address, so expect an email from her. Please let me know if you find anything! Good luck!

Thank you for this web site. Truly interesting as I know some family history but not this much. My mother and I visited the cemetery a few years back. My great grandmother was Gertie Walvoord. Terryl Smith

Love,

I believe that my mother, Berdene (Wissink) Kallemeyn was a decedent of the Nebraska Walvoords. Do you have any history/information of them?
Hello, Andrea!
So excited to hear from you! Thank you for your kind comments about WalvoordHistory.com. I’m looking forward to seeing and learning more about the Hoopman branch of the family. Any and all material is most appreciated. I would love to expand on what I have. Thank you.

Greetings from the Hoopman descendents of Jane Walvoord. I am so excited to see your website. I know I will have hours of entertainment. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
I’m a cousin from SE Minnesota (Lewiston, Winona County) and often go to Cherry Grove MN/Lime Springs IA area. If you want me to take pictures of anything, I certainly will. I think my aunt is going to send you some information/pictures from Jane Walvoord’s descendents.

Excellent website, and thanks again!
Hi Scott…My name is Jeff Walvoord. I am the son of James Melvin Walvoord who is from Sheboygen. My son Blake Walvoord was on this website tonight and after looking at the picture on the home page I realized he looks exactly like the blond child in the center of the picture. I would love to know who this person is and how he might tie into our family tree. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hey Cristofer,
You and I are 3rd cousins. Our common ancestor is Henry Walvoord (1847-1909). Your great-grandfather, Anthony J. Walvoord (1884-1945) and my great-grandfather, John Garrett Walvoord (1872-1932) were brothers.
Scott
Hey Scott, this is a great website! I stumbled upon here just doing some random research on the last name. Are you able to trace any relation between my family and yours? My father is Dirk Frederick Walvoord (born 1949) and he was the son of William “Bill” Walvoord and Grace Walvoord and I believe the grandson of Anthony Walvoord. We live in Los Angeles, California. Any info would be great!
Kristina, Hi how are you? I plan to add much more to the site including your branch. Great to hear from you!
My name is Kristina Walvoord and I am 23 from Houston, TX. I think this is amazing and maybe my Walvoord family can be added to the site one day! Thanks!
In looking at my family tree, my great-great-grandfather was Dirk Walvoord, my great-grandfather was Garret J. Walvoord. My grandfather was Elmer and his sisters where Della, Anna, Alice K, Jennie, and Minnie. Garret had a brother Tony and William. I don’t know anything about them. Most of the Walvoords I know are buried behind the Reformed Church in Cedar Grove. Let me know if any of these fit in with yours.
My grandfather was Elmer Walvoord and lived near Cedar Grove and Walvoord Road my uncle lived on one corner and my cousin on the other end.
Scott,
Your site looks great, I just finished reading some of the bios and looked at all the photos. Sorry you could not be in Austin for Thanksgiving, it is great that Amy
‘s parents were able to come to your house. We ended up with 34 in Austin, 28 for the photo, Derek, Heather and Payne and Tom, Rowena and Llewellyn came later. I have posted most of my photos now. Jeanan got some great shots. Looking forward to seeing you all next year.
Love, Gary
Photos on the way! Miss you guys.
Hey Scott! I’m working on a dvd for Thanksgiving day and I came to your website to see if you had some pics I could use – IT LOOKS GREAT!!! Keep up the good work! I just saw your post about Louise’s journal – how awesome! I can’t wait to see your updates.
When you get a chance can you email me the 1895 football team picture. I would love to have a copy of that. I tried to copy it off the website, but it’s too small of pixels. Thanks. We will miss you guys next week.
love,
Jeanan
Nan, Thanks for posting! You’re my first “blog” post! I am really going to miss y’all too! It just won’t be the same. It has been a long long time since I’ve missed a Thanksgiving.
Scott,
This is totally awesome. Thank you soooo much for doing this. We are so sad you will miss Thanksgiving. It certainly won’t be the same without you and your great laugh and sense of humor.
Love,
Nan
